Description Philipp 2025-11-11 14:20:56 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I have an application, which is currently inactive but still shows tooltips upon hover on said applications this application suddenly focuses when the tooltip shows. This is mainly a problem in Chatterino, as I have no found any other application that does tooltips like Chatterino


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open chatterino and another application
2. Overlay the other application ontop of chatterino
3. Hover over an link, image or anything else that show tooltip

OBSERVED RESULT
Chatterino suddenly gets focused and the other application gets pushed to the background.

EXPECTED RESULT
Chatterino should not get focused and the application which is currently active should stay in front.
